Nineteenth century social dances include quadrilles, country dances, waltzes, polkas and mazurkas, marches and galop.
We aim at reasearching the artistic technique that in the Nineteenth Century made these dances especially important for the dancing masters and not only mass enjoyment. Società di Danza aims to coordinate the activities of national and international Associations Società di Danza.
